Bandages off, finally healing. In a couple of days I won't have people asking me what happened and I can resume my normal skateboard crusing. If the rain let's up, that is.
Really? You must be a bad-ass server. When was that? Kimpton's been gone for a while hasn't he? I like Pinetti a lot but we don't ever talk about much.
Do you know my manager, melissa garberis? Before P & P she worked at Scala's.
So, I'm a little concerned. Two weeks ago, the mosh pit at the Dead Moon show was one of the best I've ever been in, ebbing and flowing; however, it feels as though I may have cracked a rib or something. I'm not sure how to check on that w/o a doctor poking me (so to speak).

Psyched up and ready to go! I'll finally be able to return to work on Wednesday. It's been 2 weeks; I've been going crazy! They even scheduled me for extra shifts so I can get caught up financially.

Don't go back to western lit. Keep going. Read Wild Ginger by Anchee Min, Balzac and the little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie, The Lost Daughter of Happiness by Geling Yan, White Snake by Geling Yan, Red Poppies by Alai (essential), The Dragon's village by Yuan-Tsung Chen, Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Ma, Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian, Colors of the Mountain by Da Chen, Sounds of the River by Da Chen. When you are finished with those, start on Japan. You may never return to Wetern Literature...as you can see, I'm the wrong person to ask.
Did you know Cat Powers double LP is released this month? I'm absolutely drooling.
Oh, Across the Nightingail Floor by Lian Hearn ( the author is western, but it takes place in a semi-fictional but very well researched Japan) The first in a projected trilogy and quite stunning in my opinion.
i'm glad you have healed.
have fun. thanks for your comments
